Saudi cybersecurity authority urges registration for sector activities

The National Cybersecurity Authority in Saudi Arabia has called for all cybersecurity service providers to register through its Haseen portal. This action is aimed at bolstering the development and regulation of the cybersecurity market and industry within the country. Providers of cybersecurity services, products, and solutions, regardless of whether they require a license, are urged to register.

The registration process can be initiated on the National Cybersecurity Services Portal, accessible at https://haseen.gov.sa. The authority's statement via its X account underscores the importance of this initiative in leveraging the sector's opportunities while fulfilling the increasing demand for such services across various sectors including government, private, and non-profit.

The National Cybersecurity Authority, as the competent body for cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia, is tasked with safeguarding the country’s vital interests and national security, protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring the security of government services, and fostering the growth of the cybersecurity sector. This includes promoting innovation and investment, and licensing cybersecurity-related activities and operations as it deems fit.
